The Joy of Harboring

Quadrupeds

Each day I grab a cup of coffee, relax on my patio, and observe what God has blessed me with in the way of wildlife filling my surroundings. Birds perched chirping in the trees. An array of creepy crawlers feeling their way through the dew dipped grass, tiny sticks and bits of dry leaves. It''s quietly wonderful. And frequently joining me are 3 domesticated mammals, specifically, 2 cats and a dog, blessings each and every one.

As I sit sipping my morning brew, my imagination begins to whirl. It spins these amazing fables, yarns and sagas featuring my domestics as main characters. Suddenly they don these unique personalities and traits. They Instantly take on lives which extend beyond the dull and ordinary, adventurous by any standard. They have morphed into: Surf Cat, Stubbies, and Rocket Dawg.

These are days, these little escapades serve as my daily devotional, greasing the wheels of imagining the possible.

Praises for Cat Tales:

We love our grandad, because he is like this Big Kahuna of the family. He brings life and vitality into our home. And now, he has created an entire imaginary world for us. Cat Tales is truly artistic genius. Especially when you realize all the pics in these pages were shot using a Samsung Galaxy, which grandma commandeered for 30 bucks a month on a 24 month plan from T-Mobile.

Revealed is the study of David & Bathsheba, a story in which the gross overreach of power left in its wake a plethora of wounded and discarded souls. Bathsheba was merely one among many who suffered as the result of unjust decisions made by the most powerful man of her time, King David.

Much is revealed about his heart as he commands a military campaign against the enemies of his kingdom while struggling with an assault against his own soul. Much is revealed about her heart when her life journey leads her through the horrifying experience of being power raped, being involuntarily removed from her home only to be added as one among many in an ever-growing harem, and the eventual loss of her infant baby. Through all of their experiences, David revealed a repentant heart while Bathsheba determined to learn from it all. As a result, she eventually nurtured the wisest king that ever lived, King Solomon.

How did they do it? Where did they find the strength and determination to continue living in the aftermath of such painfully public and personal losses? And more importantly, where might we find the same as we experience life’s trials? Let us observe them in the depths of our imagination and study David & Bathsheba’s lives together in … Revealed.

Dr. Gaines Bradford Jackson is a recognized successful College instructor in Chemistry and Mathematics after thirty-five years of continuous service at Rose State College in Midwest City, Oklahoma and an accomplished author. He is a man on a mission to let people know that the "Far Left" agenda being supported by the Democratic Political Party in the continental United States of America is utter poison for the American democracy way of life. Please read this book and gain support for the proposed 28th Amendment presented in this book. The author, also sincerely hopes, all readers come to the same conclusion that he has, and that is the root to all evil in the US government is the Career Politician and the unregulated American Judiciary (as one of our most famous founding forefathers, Thomas Jefferson, said over two hundred years ago - all public servants should serve one term then go back home and go to work and no one should ever be appointed to a lifetime position.)

(It would be refreshing to hear something about the 28th Amendment from those that are running for public office.)

Since the triumph of a revolution against the fiercest colonialism and the most outrageous exploitation of France in 1804, Haiti has always made farming the basis of its economy to the point that Haitian legislator has always sought to create a legal framework to harmonize the relations between the different actors who intervene in this sector. However, despite the fertility of its agricultural space, the robustness and vitality of its peasantry, Haiti is increasingly facing agricultural self-insufficiency, food insecurity, and famine.

In this book, the author explains the causes of this paradox and proposes--after a systematic analysis of the phenomenon, including the most perverse behavior of Haitian elites on the political, social, and economic levels more especially during the last four decades--ways and means to enable Haiti to revitalize the key sector of its economy.

Then one day, as a random ray of sunlight finds its way past the somber, gray clouds and through the window of a delivery room in the Elmer Memorial Hospital, a strange sound is heard reverberating through the hallways. It’s coming from Baby Nula, who is making her first appearance in this very serious world. Now imagine what happens next…

Parenting has always been a dream for this mom. From the beginning, plans were made to

ensure her children had everything needed. Parenting was an investment into the lives of those

most important, her daughters. The children went to the best schools, were involved in

extracurricular activities and their dreams were encouraged, without question. As each child

prepared to leave home, mom struggled with fear and apprehension about her beautiful girls

being ok, their inner light continuing to be nurtured. One by one each daughter left and one by

one they were challenged with friendships and love interests that affected their lives. The light

that was nurtured and shown so brightly as they grew up was in jeopardy as each experienced a

more independent lifestyle.

This book looks at a mom''s journey with her three daughters leaving home. The light they

possessed when they left, were soon challenged by their choices in relationships. The fear of

one''s children''s light being dimmed by their choices is a fear that could be experienced by other

parents. The light that our children possess is one that parents want to see brightened, not

dimmed. Join this author as she explores the light of her three daughters.
